We were in search of shaved ice/snowcone to cool us off on a hot day and found Frostbites on the search. I hadn't looked too much at the reviews and didn't realize that it was a food truck. Google maps initially directed us to the plaza area where the stores were instead of the parking area where the food truck was. The New Orleans style intrigued me and they were so nice to provide us with samples of the shaved ice and different flavors. Pillowy soft ice for sure and very reasonable prices! My husband and I both had the Cajun sizes though after I got started, it felt like a lot for me. I had the Blueberry and Pina Colada combo. I think the Blueberry took over the Pina Colada taste and color in my cup. That's the only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars. My husband had the Root Beer and Strawberry and enjoyed his. Strawberry is one of their more popular flavors. Until I looked at the reviews, I didn't realize that this food truck has been around for several years already! Definitely a great one to remember for more hot summer days! read more

I have been working with Dave for about a year now and I will have to say he and his team have the best snow cones in San Antonio! In addition to the tasty treats, they are also very easy to work with, extremely kind, and very flexible. I highly recommend Frostbites for your next party or business event! Heather read more

The fast, friendly, and delicious shaved ice cones. I love the multiple variety of flavors offered, including sugar free products. The owner is very friendly and humourous. He definitely made us feel very welcome. We'll definitely be returning soon read more

I love shaved ice. It's a summertime favorite of mine and when I drove by Frostbites, I immediately had to pull over and check it out. I wasn't sure what New Orleans style Sno-Ball was, but I was definitely willing to find out. I was SO happy to see the different flavors they have. Including pickles, pickle juice, chamoy, and lukas. So far I've only gotten to Chamango (which is mango, chamoy, and lukas) but I plan to try different flavors very soon. I wasn't sure what the difference between Hawaiian shaved ice and New Orleans style was, but apparently it is the size of the ice on top. I really enjoy the New Orleans style because they put a funnel over the top of the ice to make it smaller and the majority of your treat is in a large cup (read: a lot less mess, especially when trying to take your shaved ice home!) The shaved ice itself is really, really good. Enough syrup to cover all of the ice in your cup, but not to where you have a pool at the bottom when you're finished. The first time that I went, they were cash only. Luckily I had cash on me, but it did keep me from visiting subsequent times. I recently went back and they now accept credit cards, which means my visits will become more frequent. The price is really, really fair for the amount that you receive. The service is friendly and fast. They do tend to get busy in the later afternoon and early evening. There is no place to sit and enjoy your treat because it's in a parking lot, but your shaved ice can easily be transported. If you're in the area, stop at Frostbites for a cool, tasty, inexpensive treat! read more

After several weeks of 100+ degree weather in San Antonio, I'd been craving a good snow cone. I found Frostbites after a few searches on Yelp so I decided to give it a try. Of course, there's plenty of Bahama Buck's locations near me but I wanted to try something less "franchisey". Frostbites is located in a little truck outside of Incredible Pizza on Blanco and West Ave. It can be hard to miss if you aren't paying attention. Just as a head's up, it is closer to Blanco Rd. than West Ave. There was a bit of a wait on the day we went. I wish they had more covered areas to wait or at least a few picnic tables to sit down while you wait for your cone. That day, the young lady was taking orders one at a time so we waited about 15-20 minutes for our snow-cone. The consistency of the ice was not what I expected. I will say that I don't think I've had New Orleans style snow cones so maybe I had the wrong expectations going into the experience. I prefer the consistency of my snow cones to be a bit softer with a decent crunch to it. The consistency of this snow cone was a bit harder and icier than I like. The flavors are pretty extensive, like any good SA snow cone establishment they do have chamoy as an option. I got white coconut and tutti frutti. I wish it was a little sweeter but other than that, it was a decent snow cone. read more

This was the first time to try a sno ball from Frostbite. It was great! Tasted just like a sno ball in New Orleans. Now that I know about Frostbite I will be back to try other flavors! read more

So here in Texas we know it gets hot very HOT!!! So I really recommend frostbite for your refreshing stop it's unbelievable how good these snow cones are.

It is a family owned business and their staff makes you feel at hone anytime you stop by. Their prices are reasonable and very much affordable.

I have really missed my Pelican's Sno Balls back home. This was really comparable. I really enjoyed my Rainbow Sno Ball and my husband enjoyed his Blue Raspberry and Fuzzy Navel mix. There are flavors galore and you can mix and match and add toppings as well. I loved the music they played outside, I just wish there was a small seating area by the truck. I would really enjoy having my sno ball when I purchase it, instead of taking it back to my car and risk making a mess. Next time I'll test out the cucumber things they are selling as well. I saw someone who was enthusiastic about purchasing them. read more

Great quality snowcones for a great price! I have been craving Taiwanese-style snow ice (shaved ice with condensed milk and fruit) and unfortunately, San Antonio doesn't have any. I came to Frostbites to replicate the taste and I was able to satisfy my craving!! I got a small Strawberry cheesecake with ice cream and extra cream (sweetened condensed milk) and it hit the spot. Only for a total of $4.50! read more

The "La Petite" package to-go was the perfect way to kickstart our Boy Scout pool party. It came with all the accoutrements and my selected 4 flavors. The Scouts and parents were truly happy with the icy, cold treat. Thanks, David!! read more

I have been hunting for a great shaved ice spot since I got to SA last year and I'm glad to say my search is over. This place is simply delicious! My husband and I got the small sized shaved ice. It was like $3 each or something like that. I got cherry and my husband got fruit punch. Both flavors were so delicious! They accidentally poured a significant amount of juice on top of my ice and asked if it was ok that way or would I like them to redo it? I said definitely not I like it with more! It's called wet style apparently according to the attendant. Needless to say this place was pretty awesome. They have more flavors and complex concoctions on the menu as well. The best part was the small sizes were huge. I almost wasn't going to finish it but I did. Next time I'll have to opt for the x-small. Definitely a must try for you this summer! read more

What a great experience! The canopy was a hit with our youth group retreat...the HS students loved it! The price was reasonable and they were very prompt. We plan to have Frostbites definately for our future events! read more

Frostbites has a variety of great flavors to enjoy than your average shaved ice place, but after moving from Texas and looking forward to visiting Frostbites to cool off after a long day in the sun, I was surprised to see that the consistency of the shaved ice has changed. The ice used to be smoother while still having the crunch of a snow cone which was one of the reasons why I loved frostbites so much. Overall it's definitely worth trying. read more

Yum! We decided to end our evening of fun at Frostbites. My son had root beer with gummies, the hubs tried the grape flavor and I tried the chamo-mango with gummies. All very tasty. I especially loved the chamo-mango. The ice was nicely shaved and we didn't find any big chunks of ice. There are a lot of flavors to chose from. You can add ice cream or toppings such as whipped cream or gummies for additional cost. We will be back! Sorry it was dark out so I wasn't able to take a pic. read more

Was out of our way, but so worth it! The shaved ice was wonderful! Truly shaved ice! We tried several flavors and mixed some and they were all good! read more

If you're looking for a real New Orleans style snoball, this is the place. I lived in baton rouge for 4+ years for my undergrad and had my fair share of good snoballs. I've lived in SA for over 2 years now and when I stumbled upon this place, I had to try it. The ice is so soft and perfect. I also love that they have the sweetened condensed milk for a topping, which is what I used to always get living in Louisiana. I also had my dog with me and they gave him a little "puppy snoball" which he loved. I will definitely be back. read more
